As I go through the pages, I'm confused about the downloading of the files and where I should be for each step. I think we need more explicit instructions for this area because it is so complicated. Something like: XBUILDROOT=${PWD} wget -nd -r ftp://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/svn/x/wget/ to retrieve the wget files. Then make subdirectories for file in *.wget; do dir=`echo $file | sed -e 's/.wget//'` mkdir -p $dir done Finally in each section (using proto for an example) cd $XBUILDROOT/proto wget wget -i ../proto.wget for package in *.tar.bz2 do packagedir=`echo $package | sed 's/.tar.bz2//'` tar -xf $package && cd $packagedir && ./configure $XORG_CONFIG && make install if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then break #stop the build if the previous command failed fi cd .. && rm -rf $packagedir done 2>&1 | tee -a ../xorg-proto.log #log the entire loop This is different from the general case because there is no explicit 'make' stage. We also need some size and time estimates for each section. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
